Dan Phillips (@danpffc) joins me for a bumper show featuring our review of the April 13th 1985 episode of Mid South Wrestling.  This was the first tv taping after WrestleMania I and it’s fair to say Bill Watts was in a slightly bad mood.  This is a must watch episode as a time capsule of the very real wrestling war that was happening at the time, including a lengthy opening tirade from Watts about Titan Sports.

Running order : 

0:00 - 54:09 - Mid South Wrestling Review (feat Dr Death vs Terry Daniels, Jake Roberts & The Barbarian vs Rock N Roll Express plus Kamala & Brickhouse Brown in action)

We chat his day job following the NBA, his love of boxing and then switch gears and discuss how he first got into Mid South Wrestling having grown up in New Orleans.

We chat some of J’s favourites, big time live events attended and more before running through the March 16th 1985 television episode which included a TITLE FOR TITLE, CHAMPION VS CHAMPION match between North American champion Ted Dibiase & Television Champion Terry Taylor.

Fowl Original (@fowl_original) of the very popular wrestling YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/FowlOriginalWrestling) is back today to review the March 9th 1985 episode of Mid South Wrestling.

We recap what Fowl has been up to over the last 12 months since he was last on the show, what he’s enjoyed wrestling wise during the pandemic and also end up in a great tangent on the wonderful early-mid 90s daytime tv game show ‘Turnabout’ (Rob Curling, I hope you’re listening).

This is all before attention turns to Mid South & we look back over an excellent show featuring Hacksaw Jim Duggan & Kerry Von Erich going up against Gino Hernandez & Hercules Hernandez, Terry Taylor vs Jake Roberts for the TV title, Brad Armstrong vs Buddy Landell plus Iceman King Parsons, Kamala, the Dirty White Boys & the Barbarian (John Nord) all in action.
